Jon, you've got a knack for dreaming up the classiest, most elegant designs! Another beauty awaits. That headstock really intrigues me.

So you think Jacob will come to the Bass Summit, eh? That would be nice to have a local luthier there.

When's she due to drop? Seems like you just started her!

Wolfehollow · May 15, 2003

I did just start her!! I cant keep up with all the stuff hes doing... I am taking pics as fast as I can!

I think he will come to the bass summit...

Those are blood wood stringers by the way.

That is one cool looking bass, i bet it will sound nice too. :bassist:

I like that design, especially the headstock. Are you planning on painting it or leaving it woodgrain?

Peter McFerrin · May 15, 2003

Dump the pickguard and you've got a jizzworthy bass, good sir.

It's the Ric-of-Death!

Sweet design.

I dunno, I think the pickgaurd'll give it some pizzazz. Especially a really cool wood like that burled redwood.

I say leave as is.

Thats a great looking bass you've got going there. I love these "bass in progress" threads.

Reminds me of the musiclander guitar body over at warmoth... kinda.

I will have it oil finished and try to keep it as white as possible to contrast the red...

The symbol means truth.

This pic should reinforce those comments!

Here it is without the pickguard... and I base much of its design off of my Ric...

GOOD CALL!!!
